Sterling Stuff II

Mon 17th Nov - Sun 18th Jan 2009

The ancient symbolic value of silver as currency is probably its most recognisable incarnation.  In reality however, silver is much more versatile.  As a metallic element it is found pure in its natural state.  It is an efficient conductor, has healing and antiseptic properties and is often linked with the moon, femininity and fertility.  All cultures have awarded the precious metal a special status but somehow this preciousness seems to have inhibited its use for sculpture.

Sterling Stuff II  is an exhibition devoted entirely to the exploration of sculpture in silver.  Over fifty contemporary artists, many experimenting with the metal for the first time, have produced a gem of a show; a cross-section of the sculpture world that is dazzling in its diverse response to the material.  It is a spectacle of superb craftsmanship, intensely observed realism, sensuous abstraction, poignant conceptualism and wild surrealism.
